Front Door Replacement in Cornwall – A Complete Transformation
A new front door can completely change the appearance of a home – and this recent front door replacement in Cornwall is a perfect example.
Our team at St Austell Bay Plastics replaced the property’s existing white uPVC entrance with a striking new dark entrance door and matching frame, creating a much cleaner and more contemporary finish.
The before and after photos really tell the story.
From an Older uPVC Entrance to a Modern Design
The original entrance featured a white uPVC door surrounded by obscure glazed panels. While functional, the design restricted the view through the entrance and had begun to look dated compared with the character of the property.
The replacement creates a completely different first impression.
The new entrance features a dark contemporary door with a slim vertical glazed panel, long stainless-steel pull handle and large clear glazed sidelights on either side.
By replacing the obscure glazing with clear glass, significantly more natural light can pass through the entrance while opening up the view between the home and outside.
A Front Door Designed Around the Property
One of the advantages of replacing your entrance door is being able to choose a design that works with the property rather than simply replacing like-for-like.
For this installation, the darker finish works particularly well alongside the property’s existing stonework and dark timber cladding. The large glazed sidelights help prevent the darker door from making the entrance feel enclosed, while the slim glass panel through the centre adds another contemporary detail.
The result is a smart, modern entrance that feels completely different from what was there before.

Composite doors in Cornwall are a popular choice for homeowners looking to improve the appearance, security and energy efficiency of their entrance. This recent installation by St Austell Bay Plastics shows how much difference a new composite front door can make to a property.
A Fresh New Look for the Entrance
For this installation, the customer chose a grey composite front door with two tall glazed panels and stainless-steel hardware.
The combination creates a clean, modern appearance without looking out of place against the existing property. The glazed panels also allow natural light into the hallway while maintaining privacy.
Rather than replacing the surrounding entrance, the new composite door works neatly with the existing white frame and side panel, giving the customer an effective upgrade without unnecessarily changing the whole frontage.
Why Choose a Composite Front Door?
Composite doors are a popular choice for homeowners looking to replace an older uPVC, timber or composite entrance door.
They combine a strong construction with excellent thermal performance and are available in a huge range of designs. Depending on the style you’re looking for, you can customise features including:
- Door colour and finish
- Decorative or privacy glass
- Handles and pull bars
- Letterplates
- Knockers and other hardware
- Traditional or contemporary door styles
This means a new composite door can be designed around both the property and the homeowner’s preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
We supply and install composite doors across Cornwall, with a wide range of colours, glazing options, hardware and traditional and contemporary designs available.
